3.2 version highlights:• Different default hardware buffer size for event mode - known to work better with specific soundcards.• Different detection of stream formats supported by the device - should improve compatibility with certain SPDIF receivers.3.2.1 version highlights:• Fixed a crash bug from version 3.2.

3.2.2 version highlights:* Compatibility improvements - removed the advanced preferences switch; the correct behavior is now determined automatically.3.2.3 version highlights:* Fixed 3.2.3 regression that made certain channel layouts not work.

3.0 version highlights:* Faster volume control* 32bit integer mode if 32bit floating-point is not supported by the device* Operates in two different modes, regular and event-driven - the latter seems to be more compatible with USB devices, but not supported by some other devices.* Separate process sandbox for improved stability.

First things first, Peter, love this plugin. So much so, the first time I have an issue with it is the reason I finally decided to register and post something. Thank you for the plugin, can't live without the the difference in sound over DS.

Will post a crash dump in a bit... But I found a bit of info that may help without the crash dump even. The crash only occurs when outputting in 24-bit. Dropped down to 16-bit and it works fine in 1.2.4 beta 1.

It appears you have not read #8 of the Terms of Service to which you agreed during registration, nor the official FAQ for foobar2000, nor any of the countless threads here where it has been explained that different output methods do not produce differing quality of sound.

Please retract this claim – acknowledging that it is almost certainly based solely upon expectation bias/placebo resulting from sighted comparison – unless you can provide objective evidence for it, which would be revelatory.

Perhaps "..can't live without the the difference in sound vs DS I perceive..." ?

Didn't think it was much to say "difference" in sound as it not really a statement of me saying it is better or worse then something as for quality. Guessing my use of the word "over" may have lead to that. Although the output device being headphones/speakers ultimately can have such an effect. I see my entire PC (sound card/hardware, drivers, and yes foobar2000 as part of the said output device). Will still say I am happier with the net effect of bypassing the "Windows’ mixer and other potential sources of alterations to the audio stream, none of which will be audible anyway".

In this case, I do not care for a few things that the bit of addons the maker of my sound card threw into the mix that has possibly caused any alterations audible or otherwise to myself or someone else listening.

With that said, somewhat expected the 24 bit playback was related to the 24 bit changes in the latest beta. 1.2.4 beta 3 came so fast I didn't even see beta 2. Anyway, same confirmation. 24 bit playback is again fine with 1.2.4 beta 3.
